Draft Grade — Broncos
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Broncos: B-.

The Broncos went off the board in a big way for Skyler Gill-Howard, 31 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Williams that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The roster is better shaped than it was, with linebacker chief among the fixes.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick31 Rnd1 Kayden McDonald
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick63 Rnd2 Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams in the 63rd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95 Rnd3 Joe Royer
Joe Royer in No. 95 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick108 Rnd4 Skyler Gill-Howard
A real head-scratcher, Skyler Gill-Howard in slot 108 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick131 Rnd4 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in the Round 4 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick170 Rnd5 Bryce Boettcher
Nothing to complain about; Bryce Boettcher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick247 Rnd7 Shamar Easter
Good price on Shamar Easter in No. 247, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251 Rnd7 Jaylon Braxton
No drama and no debate, Jaylon Braxton went about where he belonged in pick 251. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick255 Rnd7 Colbie Young
Colbie Young at pick No. 255 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
